- Abstract
Studies the mechanism of force generation by myosin heads in skeletal muscle. Force generated by the cyclical interaction between the myosin head domains projecting from the mysoin filaments and the adjacent actin filaments; Ruling out of the rapid attachment/detachment hypothesis through measurements of the axial motions of the myosin heads at angstrom resolution.
